Iran invites UN inspectors to controversial Arak nuclear facility
This will come as disappointing news to the war hawks, but it looks like once again President Obama's leadership is yielding positive results for America and the world.Iran has invited U.N. inspectors to visit its Arak heavy-water production plant on Dec. 8, the first concrete step under a cooperation agreement to clarify concerns about Tehran's disputed nuclear program.
Yukiya Amano, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, also said the IAEA was looking into how Sunday's agreement between Iran and six world powers to curb Tehran's nuclear activity could be "put into practice" concerning the U.N. agency's role in verifying the deal.
The IAEA will expand its monitoring of Iran's uranium enrichment sites and other facilities under the interim accord, reached after marathon talks between Iran and the United States, France, Germany, Britain, Russia and China.
"This will include the implications for funding and staffing," Amano told the IAEA's 35-nation governing board, according to a copy of his speech.
